The Olney Hymns (?Oh for a closer walk with God? and ?God moves in a mysterious way?, for example), the ballad of John Gilpin, the poems to his leverets, ?Alexander Selkirk?, ?On the Loss of The Royal George? and many other well loved pieces are his. So too is the long and deeply entertaining poem The Task, a work from which the great Romantic poets took their bearings.* This is a FINE copy with absolutely minimal shelf wear.*
